God of Pets

Chapter 678 Creating the World

After all that, Chen Guan realized one thing for sure: he was the only bad guy in the Ziyang Legion.

"So what if I'm a bad person? Bad people are like darkness. Without darkness, where would the light come from? Without me, a bad person, how could the good of others be shown? It's only natural for me to be bad, and it's perfectly justifiable for me to be bad..." Chen Guan comforted himself, but the more he thought about it, the less confident he became.

"Lord of the City." A man walked up to Chen Guan and greeted him.

Many people here don't call him Lord Chen Guan. The only person who calls him that so naturally is Mr. Xiao.

"Where are you going, Mr. Xiao?" Chen Guan asked.

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "Commander Teng ordered me to take charge of the training of the new recruits. I just got back from work and am about to go home."

After saying that, Mr. Xiao looked Chen Guan up and down and said, "City Lord, I see that you look troubled. Is there something troubling you? I wonder if I can help you."

"Mr. Xiao, how did you come to realize the second secret treasure after six awakenings?" Chen Guan asked after thinking for a moment.

Mr. Xiao asked in surprise, "The city lord hasn't awakened to the sixth level yet?"

Mr. Xiao was shocked that Chen Guan, with his strength, did not yet have the Sixth Awakening.

"Not yet." Chen Guan didn't try to hide anything; Mr. Xiao was already a core senior executive in his group.

Mr. Xiao is not only highly accomplished, but also a great talent in domestic affairs, and he is doing a very good job assisting Teng Mingli.

After digesting the information for a while, Mr. Xiao said, "Everyone's understanding is different, so there is no standard answer. Instead of learning from others, it is better to ask your own heart."

"I just can't see my own true self," Chen Guan sighed.

“I have a method that you, the city lord, can try; it might be useful,” Mr. Xiao said with a smile.

"What method?" Chen Guan asked.

"It's actually very simple. The city lord only needs to think about two questions: why was he born, and why will he die," Mr. Xiao said.

"Are there answers to these two questions?" Chen Guan asked, frowning.

There is no answer, yet there are many answers. Some people live their whole lives in a daze, probably without ever seriously thinking about this question. Some people have thought about it, but they can't figure it out. And some people have figured it out and know the answer, but everyone's answer is different.

Mr. Xiao said seriously, "Actually, these two questions are meant to help you understand your relationship with the world. The answers are not important; what matters is the process of thinking, recognizing yourself, figuring out how to treat the world, and what kind of life you want to live."

Chen Guan nodded as if he understood, feeling that what Mr. Xiao said made sense.

This is the difference between unorthodox methods and those with a lineage. Unorthodox methods rely on self-exploration, while those with a lineage don't need to fumble around like blind men touching an elephant; their predecessors have already shown them what the elephant's outline looks like.

After thanking Mr. Xiao, Chen Guan returned to his courtyard and began to seriously consider how he should interact with the world.

The two questions Mr. Xiao mentioned are just supplementary; you don't necessarily have to think about them.

As Mr. Xiao said, the key is what kind of life he wants to live.

Chen Guan was not a confused or bewildered person; he had clear goals.

He wanted to become a superior person, to become the most powerful being in the world, at least to prevent others from investigating his origins, so that Chen Xinghe and Chen Yulian could live openly in the sunlight, no longer having to live a life of hiding and fear.

To achieve such a goal, he must possess power or strength surpassing that of the ten major families; he needs to be invincible.

Therefore, Chen Guan's goal has always been clear: he needs both his own strength and power.

Whether it's joining the Heavenly Army or establishing Ziyang City here, it's all for this goal.

Now that Chen Guan has calmed down and is thinking carefully, is this kind of hard work and pursuit really the life he wants? Does he want to live like this forever?

Yes, that's right, this is the life Chen Guan wants, and he wants to live like this forever.

To others, especially to those who are carefree, such a life is undoubtedly arduous, and may even bring enormous psychological pressure.

Life is so short, why make things difficult for yourself? Why make yourself suffer so much? In the end, you'll just turn into a handful of dust. Why not live a happy and carefree life?

Most people would think that way, but Chen Guan didn't find it hard or stressful.

He found this to be very enjoyable. Every time he grew stronger, every time he gained more resources, and watching his power slowly increase made him feel extremely happy.

He has never been one to lie down or be content with the status quo.

"I... want this world to become the shape I want it to be..." Chen Guan became more and more certain of his feelings.

He wasn't a good person, nor could he be called a bad person; he just wanted to conquer the world.

boom!
Chen Guan felt his secret technique begin to operate wildly, with spiritual energy surging and converging rapidly towards one point.

Because of the excessive speed, the spiritual energy collided, causing damage, while simultaneously constantly combining.

Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be an indescribable force surging into his body, joining the combination of spiritual energy.

In the night sky, stars shone brightly.

"That's strange, why do the stars seem unusually bright today?"

"It's not just exceptionally bright, it seems to have many more stars that I've never seen before."

"This sky... it really looks like a galaxy..."

Many people who are still awake, or those who are out at night, look up at the starry sky and feel that the stars in the night sky are exceptionally bright and dazzling, as if the entire sky is filled with brilliant stars.

This phenomenon gradually disappeared only after the sun rose into the sky.

Chen Guan stretched and got out of bed, feeling refreshed and more relaxed than ever before.

He finally completed his sixth awakening, awakened the second secret treasure, and reached level 51. All he needs to do is acquire the resources to raise his level to 60, and then he can enter the Great Cave Heaven with his seventh awakening.

That was his ultimate dream; he wanted to be invincible in the world, and only by going there could he achieve his goal.

"It'll be soon. I'll be able to go to the Great Cave Heaven soon." Chen Guan was in a good mood, looking inward at himself to see his second secret treasure.

The Second Secret – Creation of the World: Creation begins with destruction; to create a world, one must first destroy it.

Chen Guan looked at his second secret creation world, a cryptic smile appearing on his lips.
